Solved: Re: 8K Q900R. One connect box swapping HDMI 2.1 - Page 14

dolly82 · ‎15-05-2019

Have they started shipping the one connect boxes over yet from 2.0 to HDMI 2.1 ?

Cant get anything from the Indian call centre staff not one of them understands what I am asking them.

Absolutley useless for a new customer asking any questions as they do not know the products.

He kept saying on phone 60 frame per minute, then he said running in 60p -- shows you how ill informed they or on products, rang 5 different times and not one can answer my question.

does anyone who owns one of the Q900R 8Ktvs could give me an insight into them, has there been any problems, good and bad points?

be as honest as you can.

Also has anyone had the chance to see a 4k tv and an 8tv side by side and if so is the comparison noticable.?

Samsung's new AI ScaleNet codec supports 8K streaming

Samsung's new AI ScaleNet codec supports 8K streaming
There are a number of limiting factors preventing 8K TVs from really catching on at the moment and one is the strain on current network infrastructure created by the extra data that 8K content contains. Samsung now has an answer for that - the AI ScaleNet codec.
Researchers from Samsung Research’s Visual Technology team have developed a codec based on Artificial Intelligence that can deliver 8K content on networks that typically support only 4K speeds, and all without the need for additional infrastructure.

In a press release, Samsung explained that the newly developed AI ScaleNet codec utilizes deep learning technology to minimize data loss during compression and enable 8K content to be streamed on networks with lower bandwidth capabilities.

According to the company, the 8K content is compressed to 4K quality using an AI downscaler and transmitted to the user’s TV, which utilizes AI to upscale the content back to 8K quality.

So as I have being saying from the very start the built in technology within the Samsung 900R should be able to delivery near 8K picture using the A1 processor to upscale.

Can anyone who has the new One Connect box confirm the model number? I've just bought a QE75Q900R and the One Connect model I have is SOC2002R.

Thanks in advance!

I no longer have my QE65Q900R but I know the model number was SOC2001R, This was the exchanged unit with port 4 had 2.1 HDMI capability.

The new HDMI eARC connection will be able to do this. Hopefully Samsung will incorporate it via a future firmware update

I phoned Samsung, they took my details and said the installer would contact me presently. The installer phoned and asked a couple of questions including was the tv wall mounted. They took best contact details and said they would phone again to arrange a firm date to replace the One Connect box. The tv itself is great. The box doesn't get particularly hot, just warm. The 8K videos on YouTube show just what the tv is capable of, and is a clear upgrade in quality from my 4K QLED Samsung

Hi, checking if anyone in the Netherlands has received the upgraded HDMI 2.1 box yet. I inquired with Samsung NL on December 8 if I was eligible. The reply was "yes, you are, we are going to send you one asap, keep in mind it could take 5 to 10 work days before delivery'. I have yet to receive the updgraded one connect box. Anyone out there in NL with similar experience. I have a january 2018 8k Q900R
